On contacting him by phone,Josh scheduled a date 2 days later to come and work on the problem. H e was about 10 minutes late, but called and kept me apprised of his arrival. He listened to my description of the problem then offered his analysis and suggested repair. I felt confident enough in his ability that I brought up several other electrical issues that concerned me, and he provided analyses and repairs quickly. I am very happy with his services.

We recently purchased a condo in San Francisco that was built in 1931.  There was no washing machine in the condo and the only place suitable for installing one had no electrical outlet.  We were also planning a kitchen remodel and needed some electrical work done there.  I called James Frost Electrical and Josh, James' son, came out right away and looked at all those things.  They came a week later and did the work.  They were very professional, courteous, and they really know about the sometimes wacky older constructions in San Francisco.  I was so pleased with them that I am using them again in the very near future for more electrical work.

We just bought a 1915 Edwardian and needed some general maintenance performed, from a new dryer outlet to rewiring the doorbell so it actually works! I scheduled an appointment with James on a Wednesday, he came out that afternoon to inspect what I needed done, then came back two days later (per my schedule) and completed everything quickly and professionally. They were very flexible with my schedule, explained what was wrong, fixed what was wrong, then cleaned up when done! I couldn't have asked for a better job done. I will definitely use James Frost in the future.

The owner and his son come to my condo at the agreed-upon time and spent a good amount of time listening to my situation and giving me some good advice.  They told me that my heaters were really not in bad shape and did not need replacing.  They also gave me advice about relocating them.  In the end, I decided to leave well enough alone, but should I need electrical work in the future, these are the folks I'd call.  I'm confident that they would do the job with integrity and technical competence.

He was great. He came on time. He gave me the estimate right on site. The work hasn't been done yet but I will most likely give it to him. I had gotten another estimate by email from another company. I felt like he knew what he was doing because he didn't have to go back and get more information; he could just look at something and know how much it was going to be. He was kind of a curmudgeon, a grumpy old man, but I didn't mind it and it was refreshing to get his honest opinion. The price was fair and in line with another estimate. He also told me that I didn't need to do some work that another company had said. I believed what he had to say because what the other guy said was kind of weird and I'd had my house inspected 3 times and nobody caught that it wasn't up to code. My house was built in 1935 and he was very knowledgeable about old houses. He was an expert in the original electric work of the house, which was very helpful.

Overall, I was satisfied with the experience. Mr. Frost and his apprentice (son) arrived within an hour of me placing the call. They were very thorough in their process (investigating wall socket wiring & fuse panels) before reaching the diagnosis and fix. They spent about 1.5 hours on the job. I found them to be courteous & professional and would use them again.

I called James and he answered the phone - I think while on another job. I gave him my information and a brief description of the problem. He called me back later that afternoon and we scheduled an appointment that fit my schedule within the next two days. He arrived at my house on time, made the diagnosis and fixed the problem in about one hour?s time.

Overall, I was very happy with James. Getting everything taken care of required several trips to my home. He was flexible and willing to work around my work schedule. He would call to let me know that he was on his way and he was always on time. I highly recommend James and I would definitely call him with any other electrical issues.
